Samsung Galaxy S3 Launch Day: Today at 1800 GMT in London
With the actual launch event for the Samsung Galaxy S III just a few hours away. Here is a roundup of what we know so far, from the rumours and speculation.
We first started to hear about the Galaxy S III, but as often is the case, the more reliable information comes out closer to the actual launch date.
Keep in mind this is from people in the know and also with reliable sources, who are actually seeing the handset first-hand and then leaking the sensitive information.
Size
The size of The Next Galaxy was established this week, with a picture of the smartphone emerging next to a ruler, giving an indication of its dimensions. The device will be 130mm long, which is just under 5.12in long, with a screen size of 4.8in or 122mm.
Screen
An photo emerged at the start of the week, reported to be of the Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone. The picture looks decidedly grainy and shows a handset that looks a lot like the Galaxy Nexus.
Design and Buttons
At the end of last week, the Samsung GT-i9300 user manual was leaked. This document shows marks of a physical button, a possibly curved design and impressive specs.
What appears to be a picture extracted from the Galaxy S III service manual, contains interesting details about the insides of the upcoming top-tier mobile phone.
The design of the model was also hinted at, from a simple sketch. The image shows traces of a wide-physical button, as well as two capacitive buttons.
The same leaked ‘grainy photo’ (that we have already mentioned), revealed the phone’s physical and capacitive buttons.
Evident in the photo is a physical home key, centred at the bottom of the phone surrounded by a thin light. Either side are two separate capacitive buttons, menu on the left, back on the right, both of which light up.
Processor
Samsung confirmed at the end of April that the Next Galaxy, commonly known as the Samsung Galaxy S3, will get a quad-core processor called the Exynos 4 Quad – which will run at 1.4GHz.
The chip, which was also known as the Exynos 4420, packs four Cortex-A9 based processors with ARM’s Mali400 GPU, to deliver an all ARM-based system on chip solution.
Samsung could unveil a new cloud storage service called S-Cloud to run on the Galaxy S3. This is set to take on the iCloud, according to many experts.
